Doneraile (Irish: Dún ar Aill) is a town in County Cork, Ireland. It is located off the N20 road between Limerick / Cork and Mitchelstown. It is about 12km north of Mallow town.
The steeplechase originated in 1752 as a result of a race between the church steeples of the town and neighbouring Buttevant town.
Doneraile is also the home of a famous "Hedge Witch" named Bev Richardson, who is sometimes referred to by locals as the Wizard of Doneraile. Bev is originally from the Isle of Mann and as a child ran errands for Gerald Gardner. Gardner is often credited as the founder of Wicca. Bev Richardson's home in Doneraile is located near the site of Castle Pook.
The town is renouned as the town where the first successful agricultural co-operative and creamery was established in 1889 by Horace Plunkett, and is also famed as the pastorate of the great Irish literate Canon P.A. Sheehan where he was parish priest from 1895 until his death in 1913 and who was also politically active in the tenant land purchase movement.
In recent years, Doneraile has become home to several new species, hitherto unknown to science. It is home to scobies, who are renowned for buying shit cars, then shooting at houses.
The second species are known only in legend. Were-pires, bizarre cross breeds of vampires and the werewolves in Swinford. Beloved for their treatment of the aforementioned scobies, they frequently mate outside the town hall. Many residents pass many a lazy Saturday night joining in with the festivities.
Doneraile is a dump that was created to destroy all hope on Earth. It is a black hole that sucks you in, digs its claws into you, and devours your soul. Then pukes it up.
